They used to have these on the back cereal boxes

[Crazy Dave]

And I confess. More than once me and my friends lip-synced "Sugar, sugar"

[RevCheesehead]

1. That's how I got my first Bobby Sherman record.

"Easy Come, Easy Go"

[NewWaveChick1981]

2. OMG! I had one of those!

:hi: :D ;) I collected records from cereal boxes when I was a kid. I had a bunch of them! And I loved getting prizes in the box too. :bounce: :woohoo: 60s and early 70s cereals were the greatest, 'cause they had great prizes! :P

8. Remember that show

Here Come the Brides?

[wildhorses]

11. oh yes

wasn't that based loosely on the 7 brides for 7 brothers....

[cwydro]

13. I was pretty young

and had a crush on Bobby Sherman:rofl: if you can believe??!!!

[wildhorses]

16. well, sure!! he was cute--

seems like i was kinda crushing on the older brother, too

[Patiod]

15. Had that damned song in my head the whole time I was in Seattle

The bluest skies I've ever seen....in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green...in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free and wild
Full of hope and full of fear full of laughter through the years
In seattle

(might have got that wrong - did it from memory)

That show traumatized me, because my little friends always made ME be Bobby Sherman because I was the tallest.

Amazing that I came out of that era with my heterosexuality intact, a fact I attribute to Robert Conrad, who I used to fantasize about when he was on "Wild Wild West" (little did I realize I'd grow to be about 6" taller than him, but hey....)

[Pacifist Patriot]

4. Wow! I totally forgot about those.

Guess my memory is going in my old age.

[MorningGlow]

5. I still have a Monkees record!

"I Want to be Free"--number three in a series of four. Never got the other three (the command to "collect 'em all" didn't seem to work on me).

Still plays, too, albeit quite warped.

I was irked that there was only room for three Monkees' faces--I think they left off Peter. I always felt bad for him because of that (snarf--ah, a 6-year-old's compassion...)

6. I remember those!

I had to put a quarter on the record player needle to make it heavy enough to play them.

[cwydro]

7. I had some of those!

[Aristus]

9. I forget which cereal company offered them, but we used to get records

with our cereal that were like short audio books; the horror series was the most popular: The Headless Horseman, The Miser's Gold, and so on. The kid on the block who collected all four was considered the coolest.


I never DID get all four records! :grr:

[Robb]

10. I remember those

Super cool. I seem to recall they were flimsy square records. :D

[Aristus]

14. Yeah, flimsy, all right. For those of us who didn't seem to be able to collect

them all, the secondary contest was to see who could keep theirs in playing condition the longest.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

12. I believe they still had those when I was a kid.

And I am 26 years old.

[Maddy McCall]

17. I remember those!

I had forgotten until you posted it.

Cereal used to have the coolest prizes and stuff.
